Six votes isn't much, given that Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada are evincing such a trend in the opposite direction.
You mean by electing a really conservative Republican governor in 2009 and three new Republicans to the House in 2010?
Well, touché, but Colorado and Nevada are anyway 15 votes.
Pennsylvania is showing signs...
The Blue Firewall is impenetrable.
Just like the Republicans had a permanent lock on the presidential elections by their dominance in the Sun Belt, right?
The map has favored Democrats ever since the New Democrats and DLC took over in 1992. Republicans naturally have an uphill climb to win Presidential elections in this alignment, much as Democrats did from 1968-1988. Compare the last three Democratic wins to the last two Republican victories and see for yourself.
